5. USING YOUR WhisperDRIVETM
5.1 BICYCLE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The WhisperDRIVE™ is shipped from the factory equipped with a Shimano/SRAM
8/9/10/11-Speed cassette freehub body. If your bike is equipped with a Campagnolo or XX1 drivetrain
you will need to purchase a corresponding freehub body. Installation instructions for the freehub body
can be found section 6
Bicycle axles come in a range of sizes. Please make sure step 4.3 is completed before proceeding.
1. Shift the chain on your bicycle to the smallest sprocket on the rear cassette.
2. Open the rear brake callipers on your bicycle and remove wheel.
3. Be sure to position the 5mm spacer properly, based on the type of bicycle you are using. (See
section 4.3)
4. With the rear wheel removed guide the rear of your bicycle over the top of the WHISPERDRIVE™
and ensure that the chain rests on the smallest sprocket of the cassette.
Figure 7
Front Of Bike
5. Once the bicycle is sitting square on the trainer FIRMLY tighten close the quick release lever
IMPORTANT: Securely clamping the bike to the WhisperDRIVE with the quick release skewer takes
considerable force. You will need to brace the trainer bicycle with one hand as you do the lever up
with the other. The lever should leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand. If it was not firm to
close then the bicycle may slip. Open the lever; turn the nut clockwise a quarter turn and then try
again.
6. Press the saddle down, and lift the front tyre from the ground to confirm that the frame has been
completely fixed to the machine
7. Visually inspect and confirm that the bicycle is vertical on the
WhisperDRIVE™ (See figure 8). If the bicycle seems to leaning
to one side, confirm the bicycle dropouts are resting on the
axle caps and the skewer is holding the bicycle in place. Also
check that the adjustable trainer feet are even.
WARNING: The above steps must be followed correctly and the
Quick Release skewer must be firmly closed. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury.

5.2 HANDLEBAR MOUNTED RESISTANCE SHIFTER
The handlebar mounted resistance unit can be installed on your
bicycle’s handlebars. The clamp is designed for 31.8mm handlebars. A plastic shim is provided for smaller diameter handlebars.
Please ensure it is securely tightened onto your handlebar

IMPORTANT: Ensure the cable and housing between the
resistance unit and the handle bar follows a continuous, smooth curve. Any kinks or bends must be
removed. Do not coil or bunch the cable and housing whilst using the trainer. This will cause false
cable adjustments and reduce the potential resistance of your trainer.
5.3 RIDING THE WhisperDRIVETM
Ensure bicycle is mounted correctly as per the mounting instructions in Section 4.
1. GETTING STARTED
Before beginning each workout, be sure to check that the bicycle is securely attached to the
WhisperDRIVE™. Position the shifter to resistance level one (the easiest setting) and start pedalling slowly when you first hop on the trainer. If it’s your first time on the WhisperDRIVE™, take
it easy for the first few minutes and begin to familiarise yourself with the shifting and resistance
settings. Be careful not to suddenly shift into resistance levels six and seven as it may put you off
balance. Shift through the gears to ensure clean and proper shifting. Most bikes will have perfect
gear alignment. However, occasional differences between bicycle wheels/hub brands may cause
the gears to be slightly out of alignment. See gear alignment section 7.1
2. CHANGING TRAINER RESISTANCE
This trainer has seven levels of resistance. Level one offers the least resistance while level seven
offers the most. Changing gears on your bike will also have an effect on your exertion levels.
CAUTION
Ensure the cable and housing between the resistance unit and the handlebar follows a continuous,
smooth curve. Any kinks or bends must be removed. Do not coil or bunch the cable and housing whilst
using the trainer. This will cause false cable adjustments and reduce the potential resistance of your
trainer.
The WhisperDRIVE™ has been designed for both seated and standing pedalling. However, please use
caution when sprinting in a standing position as the bike and trainer may tilt. Try to keep side to side
body movement to a minimum.
3. Before dismounting, allow the WhisperDRIVE™ to come to a complete rest.
NOTE: To make your indoor workout as quiet as possible, set the WhisperDRIVE on a JetBlack Trainer
Mat. The JetBlack Trainer App has a large number of training sessions and fitness application. We
recommend downloading this free app to get the most from your WhisperDRIVE™.

6. REPLACING YOUR FREEHUB BODY
IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT YOUR ABILITY TO PERFORM THE SETUP ROCEDURE BELOW PLEASE
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BICYCLE REPAIR SHOP
IMPORTANT: Be careful when replacing a freehub body as there are several small parts that could
fall out or get damaged if installed incorrectly. Warranty does not cover damage to the bicycle and/or
WhisperDRIVE™ in the event of incorrect installation.
Freehub Body
Freehub Spacer (1.85mm)
